The author takes the United Kingdom's an-the-bomb set as a starting point and onceives of a situation where a socialist leglomaniac is swept into power on the (rength of their parrot cries. Race riots, loral degeneration, battles between Dike and mobs result, and the Russians re permitted to come in to "straighten lings out". On the face of it, far itched; but many people who have ten Lord Bertrand Russell and high ignitaries of the Established Church sit ng down with the beatniks in the uddles of Trafalgar Square, during one f their multitudinous protests about Imething or other, might agree that imething very like it could happen there, rreat Pan.) by Captain Donald Macintyre, SO and two bars, DSC.

Powder And Patch And The Corin

THIAN, by Georgette Heyer, are two of her well-known Regency romances that have been printed and reprinted many times since they first saw the light (1923 and 1940 respectively). They seem always to find fresh fans. (Great Pan.) LONELY ROAD, by Nevil Shute. This writer's novels rarely appear in paper backs (this is only the third in Pan series), and this one is from his very early period.

It was the third of his books to be pub lished, back in 1932, when the author (now, unhappily, dead), was in his early thirties. It is something of a thriller and its hero is an ex-Navy officer and the heroine a dance hall hostess. The story was made into a film in the mid-1930's — probably the first of many of this author's books to get this treatment. (Great Pan.) SEEK THE FAIR LAND, by Walter Macken. A novel that sets out to show why Ireland is Ireland —or at any rate, why Irishmen have such long and bitter memories, and still say, "Bad cess to the English".

When Cromwell's soldiers ravaged Ire land trying to subdue the Irish spirit many left their destroyed homes and set out to seek a fair land —not overseas, but elsewhere in Ireland. Among them was a MacMahon, through whom the story is told. (Pan Giant.)
